Managing Performance, Misconduct, and Dismissals

Effectively managing employee performance and misconduct is critical for minimising legal risk, yet many employers struggle to have the difficult conversations that can significant mitigate their legal risk. Join employment law experts Stephen Schoninger and Savanna Russo as they guide you through the challenging landscape of managing employees, from managing lower-level performance or conduct concerns, to formal performance and misconduct management processes.

In this session, you will gain the clarity needed to distinguish between performance and conduct issues, manage a procedurally fair performance or misconduct process and navigate disciplinary processes and outcomes with confidence. By mastering these procedures, you will be better equipped to make defensible termination decisions, significantly reducing your exposure to costly legal claims including claims for unfair dismissal or adverse action.

Learning Outcomes

1. Differentiate between poor performance and misconduct to select the appropriate management strategy
2. Implement effective management processes including both informal feedback sessions and formal Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs)
3. Execute fair disciplinary and termination procedures
